“The cases were created by case manufacturers in anticipation of the upcoming models. Designs are based on leaked specs coming out of Foxconn factories,” says MacRumors.

While the new iPhone 5 case is taller than the iPhone 4S, the case for the iPad mini is smaller than the current iPad 3 case

If the specs are right, those who believe bigger is better will be happy to know that the new iPhone 5 will in fact be larger than the current iPhone 4S, though it'll just be taller, not wider, with a 4” diagonal screen.

As for those who think less is more, the case designed for the new iPad Mini is smaller than the iPad 3 case shown in the image, but not significantly. The new device is rumored to have a 7.85” screen.

As Gizmodo noted, “ if that iPad Mini shell is accurate, the realization that it's not a total dwarf next to the 10-inch iPad, kinda makes the idea of one all the more tantalizing.”

For now, it's all just speculation, but we're likely to have at least part of the truth on September 12th, when Apple's expected to unveil the iPhone 5 at a press conference. However, we'll have to wait a little longer to see the new iPad Mini, which is expected to be unveiled at some point in October.

Digitimes website is reporting a couple more rumors about Apple’s next iReleases. Apple may be launching both the next generation iPhone and a new 10-inch iPad sometime this fall, possibly as early as September.

Digitimes also claims that Apple supplier Pegatron Technology has already landed orders for both the latest handset and the new iPad. We believe the report that the iPhone is coming. Since Apple just launched its new iPad three months ago, the iPad report may turn out to be too much to hope for. The website also claims that Foxconn will have the honors of putting together the rumored 7-inch tablet that we may be seeing as early as August.
